took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool

rain on my shoulder bounce up and good in the air beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha la la la la sha la la la la la sha la la la la sha la la la la la la good morning, my friend. >> how are you? this is mine. >> yes i will start my day. >> i woke up at two. come to

the garage around 3:00. get ready to go my way to take the queensboro bridge okay so time just across the east river from manhattan, where i live. >> just over there is it enchanted wonderland an international crossroads a stewpot of neighborhoods filled with the languages, cultures

traditions and flavors of maybe a crawler. i'm feeling wild and crazy, but just across the river, the options are endless i'm not stopping for sam querrey the seven train winds over and through queens like a main cable every stop can seem like another country another region get off at roosevelt avenue and you are going to eat well for sure example this cart sells ecuadorian food bernardo. most

port was sublime. crispy skin straight from heaven. crunch, crunch. oh, that's the sound of victory right there morcilla blood sausage with potato cakes. oh, man that's looking really good this is a working class neighborhood. people coming to and from work. yeah. how often do you think the average person eats at one of these things? >> a lot of like, the day laborers. a lot of the men that are here they might live in these tiny apartments with a tiny shared kitchen. they can't cook, right? they're not going to go into the restaurants. they don't have time for that. >> so it's for them. >> it might be even more than for eating on the streets. >> sean basinski is the director of the street vendor project. prior to going to law school, he built a pushcart and sold burritos on the corner of 52nd and park. he founded svp with a small grant from yale university law school. he lives in a tenement walk up apartment in manhattan with a bathtub in

the kitchen. you know like most players. so we did like a mile of here yeah what would my options be nationality wise? >> it's incredible. i mean, you can have tibetan street food. then there's colombian arepas. you go up into flushing and then there is the chinese barbecue carts. i don't know of any place in new york, maybe even the world or the country, that you can have such diversity on the street. >> matt shapiro is another lawyer who represents street vendors when they need legal help, which in our nanny state current reality is all too often now generally speaking, to open up a cart on the street, you need a license you have to have a license for yourself, and then you have to have a permit for the cart itself. that's the problem and you spot generally speaking, yes, although there's lots of restrictions, manhattan is very much the, you know, not in my backyard neighborhood. a lot of ways. i mean, for this reason, manhattan is a lot less interesting than queens, right? this is a wonderland. yeah. i

mean, look at what we got here you know, they're trying to change it, though, and the more it does change, the more the vendors are threatened. >> you know, there's always talk about cleaning up roosevelt avenue. >> you know what that means. >> if you get higher rents, nicer buildings, they're not going to want a streetcar out in front. >> that's sometimes the problems that vendors face. even if the spot is completely legal and we see it all the time where there's building managers who come out and say, hey, you know, you got to move can't be here. they even call the police. >> so what happens if that happens when that occurs? >> well, it was me that young, you know, young kid out of college, right i was ready for them. right. but if you're an immigrant who doesn't speak any english and is realistically scared, and they tell you to move, well, you're going to move in a perfect world, how many of these would there be? >> i think the more diverse street food we can have, the better. the more pathways we can provide for people to come and start a business. and

hopefully, you know, after 5 or 10 years, maybe they'll have a restaurant right i mean, we don't say there are too many restaurants, do we? so why too many food vendors, too many affordable restaurants can't get yeah hey, what's up, new york city? >> how y'all doing inshallah mashallah. hopefully no. mashallah. hey, yo yo yo le. let's rock a show with carmela. kick it with my hummer with a mountain biker. kick it with my hummer with my age oh no helena lins double tsa always wanna burst my bubble always get a random check when i rock the stubble

better known as heems. >> half of the rap duo known as the swet shop boys. he was born and raised in queens, a living breathing example of the glorious mash up that is this boro so it seems just right that a first generation indian dude takes me to a chinese dumpling spot close to his hindu temple, yougarden dumplings is everything you need in life. so born and raised queens? yes. >> what neighborhood most of my life i've been in glen oaks and belrose, which is like further east, largely or mostly indian. our neighborhood is mostly punjabi. and then there was the christians from kerala, malayali and pakistanis. those three and next non-indian neighborhood over more like guyanese and still indo-caribbean. right. and then the other neighborhood like whiter but still indian. so it's hard to escape us in queens, which is why i like it here spicy beef and tripes boiled pig tongue and tripe marinated in sugar and soy

served cold with chili oil traditional indian food at home what about outside the house with you? because the food is so good at home, we don't really go out to eat indian food because it would just be my mom going, i can make better dal than this so in new york it was like lo mein and pizza when we weren't eating indian food. >> lion's head meatballs, pork ginger, soy so we used to come to flushing, even when we moved out further east because they didn't have grocery stores there. >> my temple is over here. and so even as we moved further out to long island, we always end up coming back to here or jackson heights, which are like these first places you come sometimes i joke, i mean, queens is so great and so diverse, but it's also because the airports are here. so it's just like you get off of a 16 hour flight with no money in your pocket from india, and you're like, where am i going to live? well i'm already here. and so let's start with this place soup dumplings piping hot and filled with ground pork and near boiling broth. this is why

i come here. >> yeah. the soup dumplings. oh, yeah so when you were growing up what was the ethno national breakdown of a typical class in school? >> my high school is a public high school, but it was maybe 70% east and south asian. mostly chinese and korean. and all these kids end up going to harvard, and all these kids end up going to nyu and these types of schools and, you know, if the american dream is alive, i think it's alive in places like queens. >> what do you mean by that? >> that there still are people coming here with nothing and making something out of it and as i kind of lose hope and the idea of like, diversity is a positive thing or the idea of america as an open place i think in a place with so much race and diversity, it gets in the way less here than it does in other places will america as a whole look sooner or later like queens? i guess 2042 is the year that people of color become the majority in this country. yep. seems like a long, long time away. but yeah,

>> one. hundred one. >> if you're looking for amazing chinese food or korean. just like home. well flushing is the place this joint is high on the list. gu shiji. cheers. i know that josh smukler and cosme aguilar are both chefs and restaurateurs operating in queens. josh, a korean man who was adopted and raised by a jewish family, owns the wildly popular long island city

restaurant mu ramen, due to take off right away. it was successful right away. >> yes, pretty much immediately. you know, i was cooking out of my house. then we're transporting all to this bagel shop. we served from 7:00 to 930, ten seats at a time. it was me in the kitchen and my wife out in the front. and one day somebody texted me and goes congratulations. i go for what? they go, pete just gave you number one ramen in new york city. >> so new york times loves you. yeah. >> and i saw the article, and i started crying cosme is the owner of casa enrique also in long island city. >> it's the only mexican restaurant in new york with a michelin star. can you even do the smart thing? the smart thing, of course, would be to make mexican food. because we know that americans will always buy mexican food. you started making, like really sophisticated, really interesting mexican food. why? >> my brother came up with the idea to to open a mexican restaurant, and i told my brother, come on, i'll never cook mexican food like for restaurants.

>> so i started cooking for a six months at home every single day trying to do different things. and right. and finally, we opened a mexican restaurant, and then i got to be a star. yeah, for three years in a row. >> nice. both are fantastic, but tonight we're eating korean gamjatang pork neck bone soup with rice cakes pork belly kimchi, and spicy radish and kimchi and oysters. >> so this dish right here, the gamjatang is the dish i had about like three years ago. it literally transplanted me back to korea. >> yeah but how old were you when you left? >> when i came to america, i was six. >> were you raised observant jew? i thought you were raised orthodox you still with the program? >> no, not at all. i'm eating pork right now. >> man that's tough. i mean, because, you know koreans are pork. crazy korean food. >> i didn't have much of it growing up at all. and in fact kimchi was, like, shunned from our household because it stunk up the whole house. >> well, it's just not kosher to. >> and it's not kosher either. so they put the shellfish in there. yeah, but now i still

make korean style ramen. and then i have a matzo ball ramen. being raised jewish can't help it. i think as cooks, we always go gravitate to what our dna is so what are you opening? >> a korean restaurant. >> i don't know anything about korean food. i just know i like it. i gravitate towards those flavors galbi short ribs marinated in soy, garlic and sesame oil, then grilled meat candy do you ever investigate other neighborhoods? >> the number of immigrants from all over the world? i mean, it's extraordinary. >> the funny thing now is i have caucasians working the line. oh, yeah. and then the asians come in they go, oh, this isn't good. got a bunch of white guys. i'm like, what? >> i'm racist like that too. really? yeah, i'm totally like that. if i walked into a sushi restaurant i make racist assumptions about the place. if

they're not japanese. >> do you do the same thing when you go to a restaurant and you see, like, let's say, a korean restaurant, and you only see white people, then what do you think? it's not legit eating at the korean restaurant? >> yeah. do you want the truth? >> yeah, of course i want the truth but i love i love love, i love when i'm in the metro christian center

and i get some people say, um it's the most famous place you've never heard of. >> that's where we are but when you start getting out to the detail of it, this is historic neir's tavern back in the 1820s, when queens was still mostly farmland and livestock rather than the seven train was what rumbled down what became jamaica avenue. >> the manager of a racetrack called the union course opened a nearby tavern to accommodate the gamblers and layabouts who frequented his track. he was called the blue pump room. in later iterations, it became the old abbey. the union course tavern and finally neir's tavern the near family german emigres added a bowling alley, a ballroom and a hotel. after the racetrack closed in 1898

and renamed the place neir's social hall. today it's owned by this man, lieutenant lloyd gordon of the fdny. you were born in jamaica. >> it's a funny thing. i'm from the island of jamaica, and i moved to jamaica queens. >> why? why jamaica, queens? >> well, my mom was here. >> what did your mom do for a living? what kind of work was she doing? >> you know, she didn't have all the education in the world. so you just had to do odds and ends to clean floors and just do whatever she had to do to get things going. i think it's pretty much the similar story of immigrants that come to the united states. they come and work hard because it's the land of opportunity and they find a way to kind of make it out of the rut. yeah. or at least using that platform to have someone like me like their offspring, become a little bit more right than than they were ordinarily, the story is i'm a

regular beer drinker at this joint, and the thought of it disappearing is, like, unbearable to me. >> where am i going to drink now? but you're not that. that's not your story. >> i knew that this place was important. you know. i just felt something special and being someone that's from queens, it's something that's special. like this shouldn't disappear it was three days from closing down when i walked into the place. wow. the way it's located, someone has to tell you about methanesat. someone has to say you know, it's around the corner to the left, to the right. if someone tells you about it, i think they think you're worthy enough to discover such a historic. you know cool little place. >> now it's historic for a lot of reasons. not the least in my mind, because the greatest american film ever made was shot here a lot of it was shot here, right? i mean, it was 15%. okay. so what was shot? which scenes were shot here? >> it was a very pivotal moment of the movie. >> okay, so that's wait, wait.

let me let me let me let me remember it. he's is he right there or is he right here? he's right. he's right here. yeah. he just looks over at morrie, and, you know, he's decided where he's going. >> what? he's going. might as well just knock everybody. >> morrie was a problem from the beginning. i think any reasonable businessman would have you know, here's a question. has nothing to do with anything you're working for the mob and you've been having some disagreements with your business partners. why would you ever get in the front passenger seat when somebody else is sitting in the back? i mean, paulie made the same mistake in the godfather. it's always like, you know, that's a bad seat to sit in. >> yeah i use beetlejuice don't ever say that name not ever. >> beetlejuice beetlejuice the juice is loose. >> shake shake shake shake shake shake shake.

o it is tempting to think when reflecting on jackson heights of indian. >> but queens is always changing always in flux. a landing spot for people from all over the world new arrivals from tibet being an example sandwiched between two cell phone stores and a couple of jewelry shops is lhasa fast food this particular neighborhood we're in now, jackson heights, is historically been the first stop for the newest immigrants. >> it's a big latino neighborhood, but the south asian community's presence is pretty well known and it's, i think, very fitting that now this huge tibetan community, which is very new looking for a home, where are they going to go? they're going to go near the indians. >> right. so you guys grew up together? >> yeah, we grew up together in queens. >> i remember we were in the same little league. >> what position did you play

let people who are being underserved continue to be underserved you have your work cut out for you the next four years. we are. but you know what? we have to organize. there's no other way to do it. america wouldn't be as great as it is right now if people didn't organize it's both unique and disturbing that you're also from queens because the values that you have been running on are not the queens values. we know. and i guarantee you one thing we all of us will make sure you don't forget where you came from how much traction are you getting within the community is there a hunger for that, or is it taking some convincing? there are definitely a lot of people who are just because it's such a new community, they're just trying to make it in america. they're trying to maximize whatever they have. even space we have a cell phone store, a phone card store. we have a little bit of space. let's put a restaurant here and maximize everything we can but then there are other people that get it that believe in the

promise of america, and they believe in their rights nuuk hand-torn noodle soup with chilies and ginger when you think it's only a matter of time until replaced by. >> yet either another incoming group or, you know hipster apocalypse look, i mean the story of new york is that neighborhoods are constantly changing nothing is, you know, everything's in flux. >> nothing's static. and even all our communities that have come in, you know, we've transformed these neighborhoods that we've moved into. >> it's hard to make a claim for ownership. when my parents moved here, too, you know so there is that constant, like, i don't want this neighborhood to be gentrified, but am i gentrifying it or chili fried beef, thin panes of beef with chili oil and soy and sichuan peppercorns chamomile, steamed dumplings stuffed with beef for a lot of people, you're going to see this community. >> and for them, it's like the

nightmare scenario. what's the best thing for my queen other than diversity? just as an everyday practical matter, you wake up every day in queens and you're allowed to be who you are you can't say that about every place. >> maybe not even the places our parents come from i'm lauren lieberman at the pentagon, and this is cnn hey, with priceline vip family, you can unlock deals five times faster. >> you don't even have to be an actual family. >> oh, i'd be the dad. >> i'm the dad. hey, physically, it's clear that i'm the dad. >> okay, so which dad is paying your dad a happy price? >> priceline imagine making premium cocktails at the touch of a button. >> introducing bartesian. simply insert the capsule, select your strength and enjoy! >> get our best black friday deal now only at bartesian dotcom slash deal. >> i had the worst dream last night. you were in a car crash and the kids and i were on our own. that's awful hon. my brother was saying he got life

321321 today. we are even further out in queens. >> the somewhat forlorn looking but still beautiful rockaways this is rockaway park, further down you call it far rockaway. >> there's also rockaway beach. >> that's why they call it the rockaways. >> and not just rockaway sometimes. >> right there's a lot of different parts to it.

>> jossimar trujillo, a writer and local activist. you're from queens originally. >> i was raised in the city, but i lived in queens for most of my adult life now, and rockaway now? >> no. so i left here a little about a year after hurricane sandy because the way sandy hit and the way it kind of, you know, shook people out of where they were, you didn't want to put your family through that again. at risk of that, how bad did it get hit out here? this was like something out of a movie. >> hurricane sandy pounded the east coast in 2012, and many communities suffered. but the rockaways were hit with particular ferocity that was the response. >> you know, the response from everyday people was good. like one of the best things about what happened, right afterwards was the way a lot of people came together who lived here, but also how a lot of people kind of came in, pitched in and brought food, brought generators but, you know, officially with like the government, the semi-government al groups, they dropped the ball.

>> what was the problem? >> they weren't ready for it. the rockaways, by design has never been a place where there was a lot of good investment or infrastructure anyway, to begin with. >> why? look this is what you would call prime oceanfront property, not far from new york city what's going on this is a place historically where the city and robert moses in particular really used this as like a dumping ground for undesirable groups that the city didn't necessarily want to deal with. back in the day, the rockaways were a summer destination for middle class new yorkers until better roads and an improved rail system lured them to the beaches of long island they threw a bunch of public housing projects in here. >> they sent a lot of the low income people of the city out here, and it just wasn't a place that historically, the city ever took seriously. you know since then, we've also had a lot of working class whites moving into more of the western end. and so you've kind of seen in the rockaways kind of shape

out along race and class lines. and the one dynamic that's changed after sandy was you had a lot more like young urban professional types, like really coming out here, you know, maybe looking intentionally or not to like brooklyn or five. the rockaways or gentrify the rockaways. rockaway is called like the brooklyn riviera or the williamsburg riviera. >> who gets the shaft in a situation like that? >> if you're a person who's not a homeowner, if you're a person that's struggling to pay rent, the plans are generally history is told us you're going to leave you behind. it's interesting because i don't think a lot of people thought that that would happen here. when you're out in rockaway, you have this kind of sense of security that you kind of were out in this lazy beach town and like, i would love to come out here and walk on the beach and it'd be just me and maybe two other people for miles and miles, and that was great. um, we won't have that anymore when there won't be a place in the city for you to be able to have that. you know, some people may be for it. and i think that might be shortsighted because i think that this might not necessarily involve the same people who are here it never does
